Bible and Abortion

Children are a blessing

"Truly children are a gift from the Lord; the fruit of the womb is a reward" (Psalm 127:3)

The child in the womb has a relationship with the Lord

"You knit me in my mother’s womb . . . nor was my frame unknown to you when I was made in secret" (Psalm 139:13,15)

Scripture repeatedly condemns the killing of the innocent

"They mingled with the nations and learned their works…They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons, and they shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, desecrating the land with bloodshed" (Psalm 106:35, 37-38)

Every human being is made in the very image of God

"God created man in his image; in the divine image he created him; male and female he created them" (Genesis 1:27).
